The Chicago Blackhawks forced a decisive seventh game in the NHL Western Conference finals with a 4-3 victory on Friday night over the Los Angeles Kings.
Patrick Kane scored the tiebreaking goal with 3:45 to play. He scored two goals and set up Duncan Keith's tying goal with 8:26 left in regulation time for the defending Stanley Cup champions.
The Blackhawks avoided elimination for the second straight game.
Chicago blew a lead entering the third period on goals by Drew Doughty and Alec Martinez, but won it with a brilliant effort by the enigmatic Kane.
After Kane made the pass to set up Keith's tying goal, he ripped a long shot through traffic in front of Jonathan Quick for the winner.
Game seven is on Sunday in Chicago.
